Save Ohio Parks and 29 environmental and advocacy organizations from across
the state have delivered a letter to Gov. Mike DeWine demanding a moratorium
on new or pending nominations, bids and leases to frack under Ohio's beloved
and pristine state parks and public lands. Fact is one of the 30 signatories on the letter to DeWine.
The moratorium letter outlined six reasons to halt nominations, bids and
leases to frack state parks, wildlife areas and public lands.
"Our state parks and public lands belong to the people of Ohio, not one
political administration or one industry," said Cowan Becker of Save Ohio Parks.
"All Ohioans deserve clean air, water and soils, for they are essential to life. The ODNR
has abnegated its prime responsibility, which is to protect our beautiful
state parks and public lands for the enjoyment and leisure of our children
and grandchildren, not industrialize and monetize them as a revenue source."
